Jumping , Landing , Ride Next to quads EXT ...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UP-Date 01/03/08

I finshed 80th place out of 108 Sport Quad's ....

I got to Ride 2 days in a row just 1 slow lap 8 miles long each day before the event since i was helping set up

( only thing i didn't get to ride was the MX Track which was my biggest problem )

Their were lot's of crashes , pile up's , broken axle's / rims ect ...

I did awesome on the deep mud & ruff trail / steep rocky hill's

- i sucked on the MX Track and Grass Field

i completed 3 lap's total of 24 miles hauling ass !

on the first lap i was hauling till i got to the MX Track and took few jumps slow - No air than came a big Jump so i Pinned it in 2nd to get a nice lifted ... well when i landed my front tire hit first ( big No No ) left hand sliped and barley hanged on with my left hand after i o most fell i decided i would go slow on the MX Track

But it was a blast , Pictures will be up soon & Video ....

You guy's missed out Big Time !

The Hole Crowd was Cheering me On

Best fun i have had on 3 wheel's yet

We got 2 events coming again 2008 Poker Run & Hang Over Scramble 01/01/2009 Who's in ?

( I finally got to up-load these couple pictures )

Are you *Do Not Type Around The Word FILTER* kidding me? They are gonna let you ride an ATC at Washougal!!

That is incredible!! What a chance to show off, DO NOT CRASH!!

I'd ride the X unless you are a real good rider that can launch that R into the sky. There have to be some huge jumps out there that the X can't do like an R can, but only if you have no fear of 4th gear pinned....

Please don't crash, please, please.....

Awesome job on convincing them, dam 4 wheelers are just as bad!!

How the heck did you pull this off anyhow? What a chance to turn some heads. Every member that is near there ought to show up with 3WW t shirts!!

EDIT - as far as tips? The quads are gonna laugh at you, some guys will respect you but others will be out for blood. Is there an amateur class? Be careful, don't roll the jumps and stay in the center cuz someone will land on you, I'd sty off to the side. Those 450's are gonna eat you up on the X but you could get hurt bad on the R if you aren't comfy with riding a two stroke WOT.

Can any of our other members sign up? Maybe some of our "crazier" members that are launch happy!! I would DIE for this chance, that track is awesome!!

Wait what?!?!?! They said they will let us ride at Washougal?? I might just have to make a trip up there! Honestly there are some nasty jumps up there! I would take the R. Yea i think the 350x would do just fine but i think the R would do better. Just my opinion!

**factoryX** · 12-21-2007, 04:22 PM

I wish my Z was riding...

**ceaserthethird** · 12-21-2007, 04:31 PM

Dude I'm Fearless but with Caution ... I'm Just Scared Of having the 250R Pinned

and Hitting a huge Jump ... Next thing you Know I'm 50-70 Feet in the Air !

Guy's What the Best Way To land a Huge Jump ? ? ?

I need some Huge Tips from the Pro's - and some Pictures !

**Tryzeedudeman** · 12-21-2007, 05:43 PM

If i were to jump a big jump on a 3 wheeler i would want to land on the landing ramp at the same angle as the landing ramp. Make some practice runs and figure out the speed you need to clear the gap and go for it, or not. Hopefully you can get in a class where all the fourwheelers aren't even makin the jumps. Good luck, practice practice practice!

**Billy Golightly** · 12-21-2007, 09:15 PM

Uhhh dude, if you arent familiar with jumping and hitting huge stuff don't even think about hitting the big stuff or your going to destroy yourself and the trike both. Just take it easy, it sounds like its a harescramble and not an MX race so I doubt people will be jumping all the *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* anyways.

Moved to the racing forum, BTW lucky effer going to Washougal!

**Bryan Raffa** · 12-21-2007, 11:00 PM

your gonna kill yourself .. them heavy 350x's land Hard! and thats usally when the frame brakes on them ...

better off with the 250 it was built for it!

both bikes would be good for a harescramble,,I would try to stay away from MXing the 350..and if you do start lifting weights and get them arms in shape

**evand** · 12-21-2007, 11:16 PM

awsome! that track looks nasty, wish i was closer i would bring the Z. But i would bring the R, just like stated before, it hard enougt whippin a trike around on a track never mind a heavy X, dont get me wrong there awsome, but the r is a built racer...

**300rman** · 12-22-2007, 02:33 AM

i would go with the r. its a racer.
AND YES, DONT HIT A JUMP AT 4TH PINNED.
work your way up to that. and be careful. get used to the track, and the best way to jump is hit the throttle right before takeoff. it gets you a little higher up there.
best way to land, is on the wheels, parallell with the ground.

after you practice, practice, practice, you should have no problem winning races with the R, they handle WAY better then any quad. IF you know HOW to ride the dang thing.

**Kintore** · 12-22-2007, 02:14 PM

Thats an awesome track!

**tecat-z** · 12-22-2007, 05:46 PM

I would be happy with just the chance to ride a 3wheeler there. Take it easy and you'll finish the race. Ride over your head, and risk getting badly hurt, giving more people a chance to point out the dangers of trikes, and never having a trike allowed near that place again. You'll never beat young guys on quads so don't even worry about it. Finish in one piece, no matter what place you finish, and respect will be given, and you will be remembered in a positive way. Fun is why we ride trikes in the first place. Be careful, and the opportunity may be there for you to do it again next year. I'd be sportin' the R by the way.

**cr480r** · 12-23-2007, 12:01 AM

This may be your only chance to ever ride a trike on a track like that

... So how could you even consider riding anything besides the R?

This is exactly my feelings on it. Doubtful there will be any major jumps in a harescramble, but if there are, just roll them until you feel comfortable. "Those who race in a responsible way live to race another day".

**Brockey** · 12-23-2007, 10:39 AM

Take the R. So when you feel good about the track you can let it rip and give them a little show. But me on the other hand, I would possible be leaving in a ambulance. I have this morals and pride problem. Me morals tells me not to do it and me pride walks all over me morals and lookout. No take it easy on the jumps. Good luck.
